| NEPTUNE'S RINGS |  |
Neptune is circled by a system of very thin, dark rings located in clumps. These rings are are composed of small rocks and dust. They almost circular (unlike Uranus' elliptical ring system). There are three distinct rings, named Adams, Le Verrier and Galle (after the discovers of Neptune) plus a wide plateau of dust adjacent to the Le Verrier ring (this wide sheet of orbiting dust is co-orbital with the moon Galatea).
